In the past days there has been increasing student protests following the attempt of a student to set himself on fire (at time of writing state is 90% burnt, intensive care). The event is hardly visible in foreign media, so here is a rough translation of the letter/post he left.

Note: The relevant hashtag for fedi and birdsite is #LaPrecariteTue (#PrecarityKills)

(this is a rewrite from an earlier post, now behind a CW, as kindly suggested by someone)

"The House Intelligence Committee held its first open hearing of the #impeachment inquiry against President #Trump. Lawmakers heard testimony from William Taylor, Acting U.S. Ambassador to #Ukraine and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State George Kent."

New #ISP in the #Netherlands called Plan B is being currently crowdinvested (?). They aim at adding another voice to the currently very limited Dutch #telecom landscape. They have reached their minimal goal of €1.250.000,- within hours and—at time of writing—are closed to reach their €2.500.000,- ceiling.

It is unclear now how they intend to be different from the others, other than putting forward "security, #privacy and quality" as their core service. They plan to use Fritz!Box, no mention yet about #infrastructure ownership.

More info to be announced on the 11.11

#crowdfunding #internet

"leftove.rs is a project that seeks to create a shared online #archive of radical, anti-oppressive, and working class movements, and the material traces they have #left. The platform will aid the dissemination of archived ephemera from these movements, campaigns, and struggles, casting light on histories of #resistance from below. We hope that the project will become a vital resource through opening up archives of #radical #dissent. It will also offer an occasion to scrutinise digital documents, make connections between materials that conventional cataloguing and metadata systems have often suppressed, and to think of new ways of distributing the archive, or even of creating #distributed archives."
